Until recently I thought the concept of the pee shiver was a universally accepted fact. However, in a recent conversation with my wife, I realized that she has never heard of this before. I have had the idea confirmed by multiple of my guy friends that have also get shivers from time to time while they pee. Someone please eli5 so I can relay the information on to my wife.

When you’ve got a lot of water in your bladder, your internal body temperature is at equalibrium. When you expel all that liquid, the water carries the heat away and your internal temperature suddenly drops a little. Your body responds by trying to get it back up to temperature again, which might include the shiver response.
